Alpha diversity box plots showing (A) Shannon richness and (B) Faith's phylogenetic diversity of microbial communities sampled two ways from Neotropical bats. An extraction negative and PCR negative were also sequenced to control for contamination. The absolute abundance of the top 20 most abundant classes in each sample are shown in panel (C). Panel (D) shows the relative abundance of the same top 20 classes. Note that the negative control maps to a single gammaproteobacterial lineage in the genus Cellvibrio. *Denotes significant difference at the P ≤ 0.05 level.
